The most dangerous form of government is theocracy.

Because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God.

Shit. Trump's the new Bashar al-Assad, but instead of mass killings, he's doing it slowly and blaming the left.

💣CDC Cuts💥
Even with some staff having their firing rescinded, CDC has been deeply damaged by the cuts from 🧠🪱 that remain intact. We do not have a complete list as this was done in secrecy. 🧵

More CDC Cuts 💣💥

Gone is the Employee Assistance Program. They help staff deal with many things, among them coping with the trauma of being the victim of a terrorist attack 2 months ago.

Also gone, every policy and communications role left, eliminating any communication function at CDC.

History gives us plenty of examples of disease used as a weapon. There are fewer cases of governments deliberately using disease against their own citizens. We are living (or dying) through one right now.

⚠️ STATES, LOCALS, TRIBAL NATIONS, TERRITORIES ⚠️

HHS has eliminated EVERY SINGLE SAFEGUARD FOR DATA PROTECTION AT CDC. Giving data to CDC is no longer safe and puts your residents at risk.

Unless and until all CDC’s data protections are restored you should consider CDC a bad actor.

Here is your simplified explanation of how healthcare cuts are directly linked to this authoritarian power grab articulated perfectly by @mcbride.house.gov.

Nothing is a distraction for something else. It's all part of the plan and connected.

This is their plan and each needs to be countered

So far so good but the Nor'easter isn't supposed to really crank up around here til overnight. Lots of water, batteries, and all my devices are fully charged. 👍

Emergency experts recommend no candles because of the possibility of house fires. They're not safe around children and pets without supervision. I still use emergency candles but most of my candles are now battery operated.🕯️

🌧 Rainfall totals continue to trend down, but the forecast still calls for 1-3" of rain which may lead to some flooding, especially in poor drainage & urban areas. Coastal areas could see a compounded impact with heavy rain on top of tidal flooding during high tide. (🧵4/4)

No birding for me today, so I wanted to share another shot of a Northern Flicker in flight. It's so rare for a bird to fly right at me! 😍😍😍 #Flicker #CentralPark #birding
